Chapter 123 Chapter 112 Air Command (Part 1)

However, the local garrison officer that Du Wei accepted in Colo City, the third-level knight George Bush, followed Du Wei back to Luo Lin's house, and felt that his choice was really very correct. Originally, he was a small officer in the garrison army of that small northern city. Although he was paid a lot, but nested in the small town, the equipment of the garrison army was much worse than that of the regular imperial main battle corps.On weekdays, I watched the people of the Storm Legion rushing back and forth, with bright armor, and my eyes were greedy. After returning with Du Wei, Robert knew that Du Wei had accepted him halfway, so he was incorporated into the cavalry team guarding the castle and became a cavalry captain commanding a hundred people.

The Luo Lin family is a family of martial arts in the empire, and the equipment of the private soldiers is several times better than that of the local garrison, even if it is not much worse than the main battle army of the empire, such as the Storm Legion.Looking at the first-class knight armor, sharp swords, and majestic horses handed out, George Bush was overjoyed. And Du Wei also looked at him differently.Because Du Wei's wealth is different now, but there are not many confidantes around him who can be sent out to handle some private matters, and they are full of money, and only Old Made is one.Others, such as Hussein, are not visible.

In this way, this George Bush is a good candidate.No background, no father or mother, born in a poor family.Moreover, he offended the Holy Knights and followed him wholeheartedly.According to Hussein's secret observation along the way, this kid's talent in martial arts is also good, so Du Wei will naturally have to vigorously promote it. George was not a fool either. According to Du Wei's instructions, Robert taught him some intermediate fighting skills that the officers in the Luo Lin's private army practiced. This guy also worked diligently to contact him every day. Originally, the Luo Lin family's army was relatively xenophobic.It is not easy for such an outsider to gain a foothold.Fortunately, Du Wei invented the game of football.Although the football games have basically been transferred to the civilians now, there are still a few games played in the barracks every three forks.

This George Bush is a genius at playing football. After a few days, he played like an imitation. Now he quickly got into a ball with the cavalry of the Rowling family. Some people who didn't like this outsider originally, and He played a few games, and the relationship gradually became harmonious. Du Wei wanted to cultivate him to be of great use, and he specifically asked George and Robert to give George a place in the 100-man cavalry team, but the team members let George secretly observe, and then looked for some smart, capable and strict-mouthed people. Come. George knew that this was his new owner's cultivation, so he didn't dare to neglect. After a few days of fighting in the barracks, he secretly noticed and took note of many people.Finally reported to Robert.

With the support of Du Wei, Robert gave the green light and let George choose the candidate.Only then did a hundred cavalrymen be selected to serve as Du Wei's personal guards.It's just that George's martial arts skills are too ordinary, and Robert even trained him on purpose.He also passed on the martial arts fighting qi he had learned to George. In a blink of an eye, Du Wei has been home for more than a month. He made the original small building in the forest outside the castle three times larger, and even leveled out a forest to build a small manor.It is surrounded by wooden walls on three sides, and one side faces the tributary of the Luolin River.

The gift from the Marquise Liszt, as well as the gift from the Magic Union, were all stored in it, as well as the office of the so-called "Football Association" led by Old Made, and Du Wei's own related industries, all of which were moved. go in.And George's one hundred cavalry were responsible for guarding there. Usually, without Du Wei's order, even the old butler Hill is not allowed to enter. Originally, after Du Wei got into trouble last time, his father ordered him to stay away, and now there is a handwritten letter from the Earl from the imperial capital, which has lifted it, but the news that Du Wei expected to call him back to the imperial capital has been delayed.Du Wei didn't care either. Anyway, in his hometown in Luolin Plain, the sky is high and the sea is wide, there is a lot to do, and he is not in a hurry to return to the imperial capital.

He studies magic with Solskjaer, the magic genius, every day, and now there is another mouse prime minister, Gargamel.Although Gargamel's magic level is a hundred times worse than that of Gandolf's strongman.But after all, at any rate, he once had the title of an eighth-level magician.The actual strength has reached about level five, and the magic knowledge is much better than Du Wei and Solskjaer. Solskjaer has already followed Du Wei with all his heart anyway, and he was a little surprised at the beginning of Gargamel, the mouse man, but Gargamel said that he was practicing Transfiguration magic, but he accidentally got the magic backlash. Such an explanation, It can be regarded as dispelling Solskjaer's doubts.

And Gargamel was even more surprised by Solskjaer's way of opening up a new way to use magic!Solskjaer's experiment can almost allow ordinary people to use magic. If such a thing can be done, it will be a shocking breakthrough. Solskjaer showed the "gunpowder" he invented, and after a little experimentation, Gargamel developed respect for this guy with low magic power. Fortunately, Du Wei's net worth is now rich. Although the magic experiment costs money, Du Wei's net worth can afford it. It's just that Du Wei counted the days. He sent the female knight Ruolin and the violent female magician Joanna to collect pirates. It has been three months, but he hasn't come back. He can't help feeling a little anxious.

However, there is good news. The "R&D team" that Du Wei left behind to develop hot air balloons, those craftsmen did not leave their work after Du Wei left. After many days of research, coupled with Du Wei's inspiration, they finally successfully developed the hot air balloon. .After trying to fly a few times (of course, for this test flight, Madd refused to go up even if he was killed), the direction control should be available.With further development, Gargamel, a senior magician, added one or two magic herbs to the hot gas burning raw materials, which increased the efficiency of the hot gas several times, and the firmness and load capacity of the hot air balloon also increased steadily. .

Du Wei thought about it. In this world, there is no such thing as air power.The sky is almost defenseless.With something like a hot air balloon, it is almost equivalent to controlling the air supremacy!If it is a time of war, with this kind of thing, a large number of hot air balloons can be used to quietly transport a large number of troops to the enemy's rear... the role is not trivial!And air attack and so on... It's just that the mainland is still in peacetime, and this hot air balloon has no military use. Du Wei was desperate for a change: It won't be used for war, so it shouldn't be wasted. Anyway, I invested so many gold coins to make such a thing. It can't be used as a decoration, and the money can't be thrown into the water for nothing!

After patting his head, Du Wei made up his mind: civil use!Use it for transportation! Although the load capacity of the developed hot air balloon has been increased a lot, it is not as good as a carriage after all if it is really necessary to transport things. But after all, flying in the air is many times faster than the carriage, and it is also safe. Some valuable and fragile items do not have to worry about being damaged during the bumpy journey of the carriage.More importantly, the cost is also low, a carriage, from the cost of the carriage, plus the horse, and the groom, as well as the fodder consumed by the horse and the salary of the groom.The cost is much higher than that of a hot air balloon. Ever since, Du Wei put the way of making money on this matter. On the Roland Continent, there is also a transportation industry, but they are all horse-drawn carriage dealers.The speed is slow and the cost is high. If you want to be fast, of course there is.In some big cities, there are branches of the magic union, there are also some military fortresses, and there are magic circles arranged by magicians. This kind of magic circle, through magic, can deliver some important letters and documents in an instant.It was no slower than Du Wei's web mail in his previous life.But after all, the magic circle is a rare thing, only in the local branches of the magic union and some important military fortresses. Ordinary people, even wealthy families, can only deliver things by fast horses if they want to transport them. In this way, hot air balloons come into play. On this day, Du Wei asked Made to gather some rich businessmen who had tasted the sweetness in the football league, and it was a small town in the south not far from the castle in the Luolin Plain. This small town is less than thirty miles south of Rollin's Castle. On weekdays, all the supplies in the castle are purchased from this small town. Because it is close to the castle of Rollin's family, this small town has a very unique name: Rollin. Luo Er.According to the prophecy of Roland Continent, the meaning of this name is: the place of Luo Lin's house. On this day, upon hearing the call from Master Du Wei of Luo Lin's family, wealthy businessmen from the entire Cote province came. Even if some couldn't come, they sent some important representatives.Of course, the fur businessman who has the best relationship with Du Wei's subordinates is naturally the fur merchant who once gave great support to Du Wei and named the first team of the Football League. Among them, Du Wei personally showed a hot air balloon.This is a sample carefully prepared by Du Wei. It is a hot air balloon woven from ten pieces of high-quality cowhide. Below it is a huge bowl-shaped chassis woven from strong tenen. The surrounding guardrails are as high as half a person.According to Du Wei's calculations, the weight of this hot air balloon can support about fifteen adult men.That's about a ton of weight. Moreover, under the chassis, Gargamel was specially invited to bless a few small wind magics, so that the hot air balloon can use some wind force after flying, which reduces the wind resistance and increases the buoyancy of the hot air balloon.Makes it fly faster and has a stronger carrying capacity. "Inviting everyone to come today is actually the opening of another industry I have acquired." Du Wei was not polite to these businessmen.When they saw something later, they couldn't help being unmoved: "The transportation business on the Luolin Plain has always been monopolized by a few car dealers. Although there are car dealers in the local area, it is always inconvenient due to the blockage of terrain in some places." .I made this little thing. In the future, everyone has any valuable and urgent things that need to be transported unimpeded. As long as the weather is good, it only takes two days at most to go from south to north in the Luolin Plain!" As soon as these words came out, the people below were in an uproar.
